Chapter 1 — Using the CK61 Mobile Computer

Finding the Software Build Versions

You can easily check to see what version of the operating system and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) are loaded on your CK61.

To find your operating system version

1 Tap Start > Internet Explorer.

2 Tap the Intermec logo. The Intermec page appears and displays

the software build information.

Using the Battery

The CK61 uses a 17.3 Watt-hour, 7.2 V, replaceable Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery. The CK61 also has an internal backup super capacitor which retains data for an approximately ten minutes after the battery is removed.

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate it.

If you fail to replace the low battery immediately, you may lose important data or applications.

4 CK61 Mobile Computer User’s Manual With Windows Mobile

Note: If the CK61 is not on external power and you remove the battery pack, it goes into Suspend mode.

Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children. Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries.

Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme temperatures, input devices, and your usage.

When changing the battery, a backup battery (super capacitor) maintains your state, memory, and real-time clock for approximately 10 minutes.

Charging the Battery

The battery pack should be fully charged before you use the CK61 for the first time. If the temperatures are within the battery charging range, the standard battery pack takes up to four hours to charge.

The battery is fully charged when its battery status LED shows as steady green.

Chapter 1 — Using the CK61 Mobile Computer

To charge the battery

• Insert the battery into a quad battery charger, a single dock, or

attach external power to the CK61 with the battery installed.

Use the next table to understand how long it will take to charge your batteries in some of the CK61 charging accessories.

Charging Time for CK61 Batteries

Charging Accessory Model Charging Time

CK61 Quad Battery Charger AC4 4 hours or less

CK61 Single Dock AD5 4 hours or less

Removing and Installing the Battery

Maximizing Battery Life

Batteries are chemical devices. If the batteries are left sitting on a shelf for long periods of time outside the CK61, the batteries slowly discharge, eventually to zero if left uncharged. The battery chemistry resists normal degradation if you store the battery in a charger as opposed to leaving the battery in a discharged state. See the following table for tips you can do to maximize the life of your battery.

Battery Conservation Tips

When You Want to: Do This to Save Battery Power:

Chapter 1 — Using the CK61 Mobile Computer

Operate the CK61 and the Low Battery status icon appears or the Battery light comes on.

Stop using the CK61 for five minutes or longer.

Store the CK61 for more than a day.

Store the battery outside the CK61.

Checking the Battery Status

The Battery Status LED is located below the right scan button as and indicates the status of your battery. See the following table to understand the meanings of the lights emitted from the LED.

Press the power button to turn off the CK61. Remove the battery and insert another fully charged battery within ten minutes or you may lose data. Or, you can connect the CK61 to an external power source.

Make sure the low battery icon is not on the screen and that the Battery light is not turned on. Press the power button to turn off the CK61.

If you are storing the CK61 for a few days, like over the weekend, install the charged battery or attach the CK61 to a power source.

If you are storing the CK61 for longer, remove and charge the battery, then store both the battery and the CK61 in a cool location.

If the battery in storage is not used in several months, you should recharge the battery to keep it at its performance peak.

Store the batteries in a charger.

The Read-to-Work indicator (blue light) is for the SmartSystems Foundation application that is part of a wireless network using all Intermec devices. For more information, see “Configuring the CK61

Using SmartSystems Foundation” on page 24 or contact your

Intermec representative. Selected application software programs may also use the blue light, either steady or flashing, for other purposes.

Scanning Bar Codes

Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.

Use the area imager to scan and enter bar code data. The CK61 supports reading 1D and 2D images, composite and postal codes. If a bar code is not enabled, you need to go to Intermec Settings to enable or disable symbologies. For help, see “Configuring the CK61 With

Intermec Settings” on page 23.

Scanning With the Area Imager

The CK61 has an area imager that can scan 1D and 2D bar code symbologies, composite, and postal codes. It also supports omnidirectional (360°) scanning where you can position the CK61 in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the 2D imager is like taking a picture with a digital camera.

To use the area imager

1 Press the Power button to turn on the CK61, point the scanner

window a few inches from the bar code label, and hold steady.

2 Press the Scan button and center the red aiming beam over the bar

code label. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code and larger when it is further away.

When a bar code label is successfully read, a high beep is emitted and the Good Read LED lights briefly. Release the Scan button.
